Now Showing at "The Palais"....

Hello Dhaaarlings...

It's Wednesday already... and that means... It's time to sit back, make yourself comfortable, and enjoy this weeks offerings from our band of merry players... Pop on over and check out who else is playing this week with our hostess Joanna Cake Over at "Having my Cake and Eating It too"

Joanna continues to host while the originator of this meme "A.Boxer" is still somewhere Lost in Las Vegas...

But how do I play?... I hear you say...Check out the theme with the hostess/ host (No.. I haven't forgotten you Milk River Madman)It's easy, just troll the "U"tubers and other moving picture sites until you find a memorable movie that means something to you...fits the theme for the week Either post the clip from the movie on your own blog or (provide a link with a still shot to it if it won't let you download and post it) and then tell us a little about why you chose the particular movie.

Try to keep the clip to... ahem... "3 minutes or less" (right! like Princess is going to be brief? As regular callers will know I manage to fail dismally nearly every week)

The theme for this week is...

"London"

An extremely broad range of options for this weeks theme, a movie set in London, capturing a certain time/ era in London, London used as a set or backdrop for another movie having nothing to do with the city itself. A romance set in the city or suburbs of London, life in the city itself a movie where the city plays a character.

Endless possibilities.

I have chosen a movie that although it begins with two hapless would be actors sharing a dive in inner London soon becomes an hilariously dark and farcical romp in the country...and eventually back in the city...

I had a friend that literally badgered me for ages... He kept banging on about... "It's a fabulous movie Princess" and "You really should see it Princess, you'll love it!" As I'd never even heard of the movie before I kept trying to fob him off and avoid watching the movie until one day he presented me with a bootleg copy demanding that I take it home with me and watch it!

Well, after that, I caved in and went home and put it straight into the video player. I'll confess... I watched it four times over that weekend and had to agree with my friend. I was converted. I did love it and still do. It appealed to me on so many levels, the humour the angst of it all the farcical moments and darkness of it.I was hooked.

"Seen it and would definitely watch it again!"It is a little obscure... but I'm glad you have seen it MJ. It was very funny in a very dark sort of way...

Dear Petra

"One London movie to rule them all. SPICE WORLD - THE MOVIE!"

"Never seen it, but I'll put it on my list, judging from the first clip....The second one won't play in the USA..."
